Really Reasonable Ribbon June Blog Hop!

Hi there! It's the 13th and that means it's time for the June Blog Hop with Really Reasonable Ribbon! Hooray!! If you are already hopping, then you should be arriving to me from the fabulous and amazing blog of CHERRY! If not, then just hop over to the RRR Blog for details and to start the hop!

So pretty and fresh, right?! I love this assortment! I always like to try to incorporate as many of the ribbons as possible when I make my RRR blog hop project. This month I wanted to do something completely different and new and decided to alter a metal bird house frame, transforming it into a sweet little cottage, brimming with color and happy things!

This is a very special cottage and it comes with a story! It was abandoned and falling apart--getting overgrown with weeds with a dilapidated and leaky roof. But the animals of the forest didn't see all that--they only saw the potential of the place. So, one fine day, they all came together and got busy restoring the cottage into a magical little world of love and beauty. And now all the woodland critters live together in their tiny home, happily ever after!

You might have noticeed the one-of-a-kind ribbon thatched roof! This is where most of the ribbons were used and I'm kind of in love with how it turned out. I love the detailed patterns on each ribbon and how they add even more interest to the fun roof! The owls thought it would be a hoot to add some colorful buttons tied with Natural Burlap String here and there. Afterwards, they nested atop the bed of soft ribbon shingles and settled right in.

Inside the cottage stands a peaceful fairy statue and a birdbath, which the birds come to gather around daily and chirp about all the interesting things. Shimmering leaves hang from the ceiling and an worn pink bicycle rests against the rusted brick wall, possibly awaiting the return of a joyful child coming to take it for a spin down old Country Road where the wild strawberries grow.

Around the house on one side is a cute double window with white heart shutters.

That is such an amazing display! I love the thatched ribbon roof and the colourful flowers and trims. And how special how you have woven a story of the little bird house around the pretty decorations. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work! :)

Well, just who do you think you are?! Holy birdhouses, Batman! This beyond and above the beyond to way beyond! What a creative use of ribbon and what a spectacular project. I am super impressed and and soaking in every little detail of this project! Also, I noticed your blog has had a facelift since I last was here! LOVE it!!! You, my dear, are so creative and such a wonderful artist. Really, your project made my whole face smile! ;)

This is the sweetest project I have ever seen. Snow White could live here and be perfectly content. That roof....did you know my husband is a roofer? That is just so out of the box, creative and delightful that I have no words. And all the little woodland critters tucked in and among the flowers? Linsey, this is darling and creative and wonderful The story just warms my heart. You, my dear, are sunshine in human form. Love you to bits!

Oh, my goodness! This is so stunning! It is gorgeous! I love how you used the ribbons on the roof. This little fairy house is just wonderful in every way. I love it and hope I can find a house frame to make myself one. Edwina Brown
